Research: COVID-19 Folding Project #16602

Project #16602 overview

Project Summary AI Beta

This project uses computer simulations to study how certain drugs might block the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Scientists will look at proteins like nsp12, nsp14, and how they interact with RNA during viral replication. The goal is to find existing drugs that can be repurposed to treat COVID-19.

Official Project Description

This series of GPU projects to simulation the Nonstructural protein 12 (nsp12) and Nonstructural protein 14 (nsp14) complexes.

We will screen existing FDA-approved NTP analog drugs (e.g.

Ribirine).

We aim to repurpose drugs that can inhibit SARS-CoV-2 replication 16600: Nonstructural protein 14 and 10 (nsp14-ExoN & nsp 10) of the SARS-CoV-2 in complex with a short nascent RNA containing Cladribine at 3'-terminal. 16602: Nonstructural protein 12, 7 and 8of the SARS-CoV-2 in complex with a short nascent RNA , template RNA and ATP in active site.
